We have to give Alphonso Smith a try! Why? Because he is the player the Denver drafted in 2009 after we traded our second round pick to them for their 2010 first rounder, which turned into Earl Thomas.

Complete the cycle of awesomeness: Alphonso Smith comes to Seattle and actually plays really well. It would be a pretty cool story at least.

Stop whining - next man up will step up.

It's not about whining. It's about the league doing this now. It came out in Week 3 and now we are just dealing with it. And forgive us for wanting our ALL PRO players wanting to play, not our backups.

Lighten up, Nancy. As I pointed out, the Pack kept chugging along with all their vital peices (a bit more all-pros and a DMVP). The Hawks can and will get past it.

You're right, but I think his point is there is depth on this team, and hopefully enough talent spread through the rest of roster can make up for the loss of Sherm.

Lol, so now I get insulted for responding to your stop whining comment. "Nancy" will be at Carlow East in NYC watching the hawk game wearing the NJSeahawk jersey this upcoming Sunday. Come by and call me Nancy if you'd like.

And playoff games ARE NOT equal to regular season games. If it's a four game suspension regularly and it goes into the playoffs, it should only equate to 1 playoff game just because of the far more dramatic consequences of having guys unavailable during the playoffs (especially when it's your All Pro starting corner). NHL pro-rates suspensions during the playoffs b/c those games are so much more valuable, so why can't the NFL?

Oh yeah, cuz Goodell is "THE ENFORCER". pfft. What an F'ing joke of a human being.

Thats adorable!

For real, the Packers make us look bad. They just keep winning, no whining, missing all those players.

Yeah, it's real adorable.

They can't whine anymore. They used up their yearly allotment after the MNF game. And their offense, which is more pertinent to their type of game is helping alot, and it hasn't been hit hard, it's mostly intact. Our defense, however, which is pertinent to our game, is being affected by this. And I will take Sherman's importance much more than Clay's.

Im not trying to produce the tin foil hat scenario... but the amount of time it took to pull out the suspension notices, and then have sherman appeal for so long, and now the hearing will be just before one of their largest televised national games. Whatever, if we cant win simply because we dont have Sherman, we dont deserve to win, one man does not make a team. Stevie was making him look silly last week anyways.

The Hawks have been blessed this year in this regard. For the most part, they've had their starters on the field. This sucks, but its something every team has to reckon with. I have faith in the staffs ability to navigate this.
